Cable Trunking

Cable trunking is a carrier profile, made of plastic or galvanized sheet metal, that gathers electrical and low-current cables along a route and protects them against mechanical effects. It is used inside electrical enclosures, in surface-mounted installations in homes and offices, at floor crossings and on ceiling-level cable routes in industrial plants. The category includes slotted-side in-panel trunking, closed-type and adhesive plastic trunking, fishbone floor trunking and galvanized sheet metal trunking, together with their bend, joint, cover, hanger and bracket parts. Sheet metal trunking is UKS brand, and plastic trunking comes from brands such as Adal Pano and Akiş Plastik; Schneider Electric's PKS and OptiLine 45 series include trunking bodies, end caps and 45x45 socket mechanisms. First determine the trunking type by the mounting location, then compare the width and height by the number of cables and their outer diameters, the material by the environment, the cover structure and the compatibility of accessories belonging to the same series. Trunking bodies are mostly sold by the meter; bend, hanger and connection parts are sold by the piece.
